Mercury/Cupido

Mercury/Cupido

RPP: Marriage thoughts.  Artistic considerations.  Speech. Music Social conversation.  NovaChartwheels: social affairs.

My findings: 
Mercury corresponds with 
  • Communication (speaking, publications)
  • Transportation
  • Siblings
Cupido corresponds with 
  • Unions with others (personal or group)
  • Art

Mercury with Cupido:

Publications:  Other people are involved  

                             Letters from one person to another

          A typical Mercury/Cupido event on a transit is an invitation

          Publications for a group, society or company

          Family members involved in one’s writing (process)

          People who employ or use writers: publishers, editors

          Enable the reading/writing process of others through products or services (e.g,    paper).  Muses

          Question: Why publishers/editors had greater incidence than librarians?

 

Books/publications.   Other people are involved  
·        Braille's writing system for the blind    
·       Frequent letter writers, diarists
Wrote a famous letter: scientist Bethe wrote a famous letter to international scientists against nuclear war
·       Writing may include art; art may include writing 
·       Writing may involve relationships
Von Kleist "penned farewell letters...now part of world literature".
Walter Savage  composed conversations between pairs of characters that covered areas of philosophy, politics, romance and many other topics.muse
·      Book reviewers
·        This is really common: People who use writing
      Non-writers: use other people's writing, e.g, adaptations; reliance on writers "He depended heavily upon writers throughout his career, he hired 15 writers for one show"; painters who use books in their paintings; movie producer who adapted Gone with the Wind and Tale of Two Cities
·       Non-writers: who appear in other people's books (Dreyfus J'Accuse changed his life)
      People who appear in printed material, like pinups Farrah Fawcett Bettie Paige 
      A newspaper article changes your life (Lynndie Englund)
·    Newspaper interviewer (inquiring photographer Jackie O)
·       Ordinary event: party invitations  

BUT a small sample of librarians did not have Mercury/Cupido.  This small sample had Mercury/Pallas pictures. 

 In the news:
"Ex-Club Singer, Teacher Succeeds Ann Landers” newspaper columnist 
T. Mercury=Cupido=Apollon=Vulcanus  7/9/2003

Vehicles:  other peoples' vehicles are involved

·       Car companies:  Other peoples' vehicles are involved
Travis Cordell Kalanick 8/6/1976 Mercury//Cupido: employs other people who drive and own the cars
Joseph Hansom founder of cab company Sun//Mercury//Cupido. He was a designer who sold the patent.  He was never involved with the vehicles himself. 

Group road tours"Barnstormers" took bus tours (touring baseball teams, singing groups)

· Companies who are not in the transport industry themselves but do business with the transport industry.  Krupp Steel was not in the transport industry but became a giant as a result of the growth of the railroad industry.  Robert Bosch invented the spark plug and had a automotive parts company.  He did not have the vehicles, he sold the parts to vehicle companies.  

Teachers
·        Art teachers
·        Student/teacher relationships (Macrons, Pam Smart, Manet married his piano teacher)
·        only a small incidence of professional teachers' unions (also Mercury/Pallas)

Siblings
·        Sibling in the arts, art activity with sibling (Donny Osmond, Marie Osmond, Judy Garland (Gumm Sisters), Jimmy Connors casino biz with his brother)
·        Involved with marriage or family of sibling (including nieces/nephews)
Copernicus took care of his sister's children when she died
Montbatten matchmaker for his nephew Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth
Catherine of Aragon married her brother in law
·        King passes law on marriage as a way to control brother's bad marriage choices (George III)     

Unless someone is in the arts, a progression of Cupido to any planet corresponds with any affiliation with an individual or a group.

Freud started the Vienna psychiatric group with progressed Cupido conjunct natal Sun.
Vivekananda brought Hinduism to the west at a religious convention when progressed Mars was in aspect to Cupido.

Martin Luther had the natal conjunction in Sag.  Here’s what happened when the progressed conjunction in Sagittarius was exact
       He published 2 major works intended for clergymen to use when they instruct
       He argued his point of view at Marburg Colloquy,
       Historical assembly of different religious denominations

Abraham Lincoln  changed political parties when progressed Cupido was conjunct natal Mercury.
Lincoln and Darwin were born on the same day.  When Darwin had the same progression his former teacher published a pamplet about his work, making him a celebrity.  P. Cupido conjunct Mercury 3' orb.

Saturn=Mercury/Cupido

Alexander Pope Edited the works of William Shakespeare, removed 1500 lines and created a stir:    "Shakespeare restored, or, A specimen of the many errors, as well committed, as unamended, by Mr.

? Bad reviews?
DAVY publications were harshly criticized.[regretted he had ever published these immature hypothese
These criticisms, however, led Davy to refine and improve  
SAME WITH STEPHEN KING/ since Gerald's Game (1993), King has been tempering the worst of 
his writing faults, producing books that are leaner, more believable and generally better written
Disraeli ruined his reputation in society with a novel about his newspaper publishing failure.

Pluto=Mercury/Cupido (like Mercury/Pluto)

Writing  about (one's own) resources
·        Keep exact account books (Henry VII)
·        Henry VIII put his initials on the British coin (still there over 500 years later)

That's very interesting about the inventor of a machine that reads coded messages. I just checked Alan Turing's chart and he has Cupido conjunct the IC, opposite Uranus: This was the ingenious man dedicated to solving puzzles and who invented the Enigma code breaking machine that played such a huge part in defeating the Nazi's in WW2.

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, strong Uranus/Cupido for the genius guy who worked with tech organization.

Also...you might be interested in reading the post on Neptune/Chiron for codes...also has info about Turing.

I had to reach for why Neptune/Chiron corresponds with codes but the evidence was there, including dates for events.
